The Cleveland Browns have an open roster spot, sitting at 89 players as training camp has arrived, after releasing defensive tackle Perrion Winfrey a day ago. As a result, they are looking to have a full lineup to work with, working out two linebackers (according to Aaron Wilson) today.
Here are the two linebackers the Browns are working out as well as a little background information on them.
Clarence Hicks
Hicks, an undrafted free agent out of UTSA in 2022, has spent some time with the Cincinnati Bengals. He has yet to make an NFL roster. This past year, Hicks was a member of the XFL’s Seattle Sea Dragons, recording 10 solo tackles and two sacks in ten games.
Undersized at 6-foot-1 and 225 pounds, Hicks is known for his blazing speed. He ran a 4.48 40-yard dash prior to joining the league.
Noah Dawkins
An undrafted free agent out of Citadel in 2018, Dawkins has been around the league a bit without ever finding a true home. He has found active roster spots with both the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and New York Jets but was most recently a member of the USFL’s Michigan Panthers.
In seven starts with the Panthers, Dawkins racked up 21 solo tackles.
Another undersized but athletic linebacker, Dawkins ran a blazing 4.41 40-yard dash when he was coming out of Citadel.
